i never built anything with rails, is there a good blog post on what makes it special?

Not sure if I know of a blog post that summarizes, but you should do one of their tutorials sometime just to get the vibe. Very opinionated, little bit of "magic" in generators + ORM + migrations, and lots of "there's a package for that" for just about anything you can think of.
